My muggy 200, reedvalve just died in town. Would start again but as soon as I Rev it dies. It revs through really messy, backfires and dies again! Any thoughts?

Thinking about it it's been playing up for a few days, like little backfires when I'm riding, more like little farts than the big backfire I had tonight :D
